• Gu Yuena failed to return to Ye Chenxing’s Mind Star Sea and followed him to Class One’s classroom.

• In the future, Gu Yuena sat beside the Lake of Life as the Dragon God and supreme ruler of the God Realm, wondering whether someone would return.
• Di Tian warned Gu Yuena that the God Realm faced unusually large Spacetime Turbulence, while the narration noted that the realm’s stable defenses and unified authority left it far better prepared than before.

Gu Yuena confronted a Spacetime Turbulence and was trapped in a strange dimension where she relived her farewell to Ye Chenxing ten thousand years earlier.

• Overcome with regret, Gu Yuena nearly crushed the Saint Quartz, which began resonating with the Spacetime Turbulence.
• Gu Yuena heard Ye Chenxing call for the Goddess of Life, then received a summons asking whether she would answer as a support and healing Heroic Spirit candidate.

Gu Yuena revealed how her longing let her overcome her low summoning priority and return to Ye Chenxing, then she and Gu Yue agreed to compete for him while hiding the truth about her future origins. After the two left the secret chamber, Ye Chenxing met Gu Yue and accepted her explanation that the summoned Gu Yuena was another aspect of her, not someone from the future.

As he worried about Tang San’s remaining Divine Thoughts and the dwindling Command Spells, another Tang San Divine Thought awakened inside the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the sunken ruins of Sea God Island.

• Ye Chenxing reasoned that Xiao Hongchen’s Red Dust Yearning remaining intact suggested Xiao’s Martial Soul had also evolved, and Xiao agreed to investigate the changes.
• Jing Hongchen invited Gu Yuena to join the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy and proposed that the seven young fighters serve as reserves because Shrek’s teams and the tournament referees posed serious dangers.
• Ye Chenxing insisted he could not wait five years for Faith Power and offered to build a team that could match Shrek’s main team within a year, prompting Jing Hongchen to agree to trust him.

• Ye Chenxing drove his black Soul Guide sports car through the rapidly modernizing Ming Capital toward Star Tower's headquarters with four women beside him.
• Qian Renxue and Gu Yeqiu bonded over the city's shops, while Gu Yuena fed Ye Chenxing Jade Dew Melon and Gu Yue grew jealous.

• Ye Chenxing arrived at Star Tower's grand headquarters and got out of the car.

Qiangu Dongfeng then reported on Star Tower’s expansion and the absorption of Ming Capital’s underground forces, while the Pingfan Alliance and Xishui Alliance remained to be discussed.

• Ye Chenxing introduced Su Yuntao and explained that his Noble Phantasm could rarely awaken people with Innate Full Soul Power or Twin Martial Souls.
• Ye Chenxing introduced Old Jack and concealed his soul-ring-producing ability by telling Qiangu Dongfeng that he had once subdued Tang Hao; Qiangu Dongfeng and Archer treated Old Jack as a hidden expert.

• Qiangu Dongfeng reported that Star Tower had expanded in the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires but struggled to establish itself in the conservative Dou Ling Empire.
• Qiangu Dongfeng said Star Tower had incorporated the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and reassigned its thieves and assassins as soul guide vehicle drivers and takeaway delivery workers.

Ye Chenxing reviewed Star Tower’s business strategy with Qiangu Dongfeng, including its plans to absorb the Pingfan Alliance and its decision to avoid confronting the Xishui Alliance for now. He then decided to leave headquarters soon and go meet Huo Yuhao as the story of Douluo II was about to begin.

• Qiangu Dongfeng reported that Star Tower’s professional assassins and thieves were working as drivers and delivery workers, and that the Pingfan Alliance would eventually come under his control.

• Bei Bei spotted the arriving Yu Xiaogang, and the crowd fell silent as he entered the academy gates.
• The inner academy disciples welcomed Yu Xiaogang by singing a song about his influence on Shrek.

Yu Xiaogang was welcomed back to Shrek Academy as Tang San’s legendary mentor, but his low cultivation left the students unable to hear his speech. Embarrassed, he smashed an Amplifying Soul Tool and banned Soul Tools, prompting Shrek students to cheer while Xian Lin’er prepared to confront him.

• Tang Ya and Bei Bei recognized Yu Xiaogang from the statue at the academy gates, while the inner courtyard students fled after their humiliating chorus performance.
• Yan Shaozhe told the students that a white-haired youth had attacked Shrek and claimed Sea God Tang San had intervened before sending Yu Xiaogang to guide the academy.
• Yu Xiaogang delivered a speech that the students could not hear, so Qian Duoduo brought him an Amplifying Soul Tool.
• Humiliated by needing the device, Yu Xiaogang smashed it and declared that Shrek Academy would forbid Soul Tools.
• The students and Yan Shaozhe welcomed the ban, while Xian Lin’er angrily tried to confront Yu Xiaogang and Qian Duoduo urged her to wait for Elder Mu.
